女性阿尔茨海默病与雌激素水平的关系

目的分析女性阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者血清雌激素水平改变以及雌激素水平、初潮年龄、绝经年龄与AD严重程度的关系。方法采用1∶1病例配对的研究方法,通过问卷调查对全部研究对象进行MMSE、ADL、POD、FOM、WISE、HMT抑郁量表等测验;调查研究对象的初潮年龄、绝经年龄、怀孕次数等;用放射免疫法测定血清性激素水平。结果AD组雌二醇(E2)水平明显低于对照组,有显著性差异(P<0.05);AD组血清E2水平与痴呆严重程度和MMSE分值呈正相关(P<0.05);AD组初潮年龄明显大于对照组,绝经年龄明显早于对照组,有显著性差异(P<0.05);怀孕次数两组间比较无统计学差异(P>0.05),但AD组仍少于对照组。结论女性AD患者雌激素水平降低,雌激素缺乏可能是女性AD的危险因素之一。

Study on the relationship between female Alzheimer''''s disease and the level of estrogen

Objective To analyse the levels of estrogen in women patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD),and the relationship of estrogen level,menarche age,age of menopause,pregnancy times with severity of AD.Methods A 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted.The study subjects were given neuropsychological test face to face in questionnaire,including MMSE,ADL,POD,FOM,WISE and HMT depression scale.All the women subjects accepted another questionnaire concerning menarche age,age of menopause and pregnancy times.Radioimmunoassay was used to measure the sex hormone level of all the subjects.Results The level of estrogen in serum was obviously lower in AD group than in the control group(P<0.05).In AD group,there was a significant positive correlation of estrogen level in serum with severity of AD and MMSE score(P<0.05).The menarche age and menopause age significantly differed in the two groups(P<0.05).In AD group the menarche age was older,and the menopause age was younger than that of the control group.Although there was no significant difference between the two groups,the number of pregnancy times were smaller in AD group than in the control group.Conclusion The level of estrogen in serum is obviously lower in women patients with AD.The deficiency of estrogen may be one of the risk factors of AD.
